Description
Mmmm! This pepper steak recipe is unique in that it uses a tenderizing technique that makes a big difference in the texture of the meat. Wonderfully velvety, this dish is absolutely delicious! 🙂 Make sure to rinse the meat thoroughly after tenderizing.
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tsp dry mustard
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 mushrooms, sliced
- 2 onions, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 oz feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
-
Trim fat from beef.
-
Slice very thinly across the grain into strips and place in a ceramic or glass bowl.
-
Mix together the baking soda and 1/4 cup water, then pour it over the beef.
-
Stir well and let sit for 15 minutes.
-
Remove the sliced beef from the bowl and rinse it thoroughly under running cold water in a colander (this is a very important step! make sure to rinse it really well); let drain.
-
Combine the mustard, black pepper, garlic, and salt in a large bowl.
-
Add drained beef, tossing to coat.
-
Heat olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add beef mixture, saute 4 minutes or until done; remove the meat from the pan, keeping warm.
-
Add remaining Tbsp of butter, mushrooms, onions, and bell pepper to pan, and saute 3 to 4 minutes to slightly brown; add water, cover and cook about 5 minutes to preferred doneness.
-
Add the cooked meat back into the pan and stir in vinegar; remove from heat and stir in cheese.
-
Serve with rice or noodles. For a nice variation on this recipe, try using other cheeses: grated smoked Gouda, gorgonzola, etc.
Notes
- Make sure to rinse the beef thoroughly after tenderizing to remove any residual baking soda taste.
- You can adjust the amount of black pepper and garlic powder according to your taste preferences.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for a unique twist on this dish.
